Asos sizing

i have a random question about asos maternity clothes sizing. I purchased an evening gown for my brothers wedding in March (I got it early as it was on sale!)
Generally I am a 12 on top, 14 on the bottom & 5"7.
The sizes started from small & went up to xl, then it had 16.
i couldn't find a guide for sizing with the s,m,L etc soo i hazarded a guess & got the L as I've never been an XL & mum kinda convinced me lol
So, for anyone who has purchased from their maternity range, how did you find the sizing? I'm so worried it won't fit & it is so hard to find reasonably priced wedding gowns anywhere!
Oh & I don't have a large bust either, they've grown since pregnancy but they're not what I'd call overly big.
Any advice appreciated!

I have purchased a few things. I was usually a medium before pregnancy and ordered medium maternity clothes and they all seem a good fit...keeping in mind that I am only 17 weeks pregnant, but they do all have some room to grow.

Hi!
I too have bought items from Mat range. I think it depends on your baby body growth. Each person is different. I was confused too but ended up buying due to the sale. Pre baby size 4-6, at 27 size 6-8 as boobs n waist has grown. So I brought size 8-10 depending on the cut and fabric of the item as I will be at least 22weeks before I get to wear my new pieces. do u have a sister who's been pregnant that you can use as a baby body guide? I know everyone grows at different rates but just a guide. The next question is how many weeks will you be in March? ;) ... if it doesn't fit exactly get what parts taken in a little? :)

Thanks for the help ladies.
This is my second pregnancy so I know I usually just put on bump weight & very minimal weight everywhere else.
I will be 28 weeks for the wedding, the dress is long & seems to be quite roomy in the bump area.
I was more worried about it being a too small lol, just unsure if their L is equivalent to a 12 or 14 as it didn't offer much info.
Ive always been more of an 10 but after I hit 32, I had an bad break in my left foot which has stopped me from being as active as normal & I put on weight.
I am a bit taller than average so I carry it well, I still fit into a lot of mediums on top.
I would think that the large is more a 14?? I checked their maternity size guide since I posted & the bust in cms is 96cms....I am 92cm atm so hopefully I've got enough room.
I wouldn't stress so much but I now know how limited I am to nice maternity gowns online, one without bows & tacky prints.
I live in rural nsw & we have zero choices in shops around here.

Hi Amylovesruby.... great you know your body. Having worked in fashion industry.. you are right size L (14-16) of course each labelhas their own mmeasurements and sizing standards. I have brought heaps of Asos prior to being pregnant and they haven't steered me too wrong compare to Australian labels. So I think you will be fine!

I haven't bought anything from them previously but browsing now and some items it shows L as Australian size 12. No idea why they can't make it clear for everything.
The dress you chose doesn't look like there would be any issues at the bottom anyway because it's so flowy. Good luck, it's a beautiful dress :-)
